decided to hire herself out as 'a handy-woman' and started canvassing a

nearby well-to-do-neighbourhood. She went to the first house and asked

the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.

“Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint the porch,” he said.

“How much would you charge me?” Delighted, the girl quickly responded,

“How about $50?” The man agreed and told her that the paint brushes and everything she would need was in the garage. The man's wife, hearing the conversation said to her husband, “Does she realize that our porch goes

...all around the house?” He responded, “That's a bit cynical, isn't it?”

The wife replied, “You're right! I guess I'm starting to believe all those

dumb blonde jokes.

Later that day,the blonde came to the door to collect her money.

“You're finished already?” the startled husband asked. “Yes,” the blonde replied, “and I even had paint left over so I gave it two coats.” Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the fifty dollars and handed it to her along with

a ten dollar tip.

And by the way, the blonde added, “it's not a Porch ... it's a Lexus!”
